Waste disposal proposal requirements
Waste disposal proposals must include a waste implications statement, measures to minimize and manage waste, analysis of alternative treatment methods, and potential for recycling, composting or energy recovery. Absolute quantities of waste to landfill must reduce in line with the landfill directive.
Waste disposal proposals will be expected to include a statement identifying the waste implications of the development, measures taken to minimise and manage the waste generated, a critical analysis of the alternative methods of treatment for the particular waste material and its potential for recycling, composting or energy recovery. To comply with the landfill directive, the absolute quantities of waste going to landfill must reduce. The WMS therefore envisages a progressive reduction and consolidation of landfill capacity and overall number of landfill sites.
